Modern Bohemian Kitchen

In this Roanoke, Virginia, kitchen, warm wood tones, rich textures, and natural light come together to create a bohemian style. The home renovation was completed by Dalton Construction Company and Emily Mangus Interiors, blending beautiful details with functionality tailored for everyday living and entertaining. 

At the heart of the space is a custom ActivWall Gas Strut Window measuring 92″ wide by 52″ high, opening directly to the covered outdoor porch. The no-sill design at the countertop creates a seamless connection between the kitchen and exterior living space. Whether serving drinks to guests outside, enjoying fresh air while cooking, or simply bringing more daylight into the home, the Gas Strut Window transforms the kitchen into a more open, connected environment.

Complementing the operable window is a large fixed glass panel behind the cooking area, also by ActivWall. It measures 120″ wide by 46″ high. The expansive window, positioned above the range and behind a unique pair of floating shelves, floods the kitchen with natural light while framing views of the outdoors. Together, the two custom units create a space that feels bright, airy, and deeply connected to its surroundings.

Beyond aesthetics, both ActivWall units are designed with energy efficiency in mind. Built with thermally broken aluminum frames and insulated glass, ActivWall products help maintain interior comfort throughout changing seasons. In Virginia’s varied climate, these energy-efficient materials help reduce heat transfer while still allowing homeowners to enjoy expansive glass and abundant daylight. The durable construction and precision engineering of the Gas Strut Window also ensure smooth operation.

This kitchen renovation is a perfect example of how thoughtful design can completely transform a home’s experience. The windows create a space that feels larger, brighter, and more connected to the outdoors while maintaining the comfort and performance homeowners expect from modern living.
